TheNissan Serena (Japanese:日産・セレナ,Hepburn:Nissan Serena) is aminivan manufactured byNissan, joining the slightly largerVanette. The car was engineered by Nissan'sAichi Manufacturing Division and launched in 1991 as a compact passenger van, and it grew larger with each generation over the years. Earlier versions werefront-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with alive axle mounted onleaf springs, while the following generations arefront-wheel drive or4WD.
The Serena is designed to comply withJapanese vehicle class, which means its external dimensions are restricted to 4.7 meters in length and 1.7 meters in width. It slots below the largerNissan Elgrand in Japan as a smaller, cheaper alternative. Competitors include theToyota Noah, theHonda Stepwgn, and theMitsubishi Delica.
Its name is from the Latin word"serēnus", meaning "clear, tranquil, pleasant".
The Serena was rebadged and marketed bySuzuki as theSuzuki Landy (Japanese:スズキ・ランディ,Hepburn:Suzuki Randi) between 2007 and 2022.[1] The Serena-based Landy was discontinued and replaced by an all-new version that is based on theToyota Noah starting in 2022, when the fourth generation Noah was released.
As with the larger Elgrand,Autech offers a tuned, modified version of the Serena.

| Chronology | |
| Successor | Nissan Primastar (Europe) |
Models were manufactured in Japan from 1991 onwards, and many were imported into Australasia and the United Kingdom. Nissan produced many different trim levels - FX, SX etc. Full-Auto (full-time) 4WD versions were also produced providing greater stability and better handling. The naturally aspirated 2.3 L diesel was never manufactured for the Japanese market and its seating arrangement and interior fittings are not the same as the 2.0 L petrol (SR20DE), 2.0 L dieselCD20 and turbo-dieselCD20T models manufactured in Japan for the local market. It was exclusive to Japanese Nissan dealerships calledNissan Bluebird Store.
Throughout its production the C23 model underwent several facelifts although the interior design and body largely remained unchanged, for example, addition of airbags and bench seats for the second and third rows. Each facelift model can be identified by front grille design which was updated in 1994 and 1997.
In European markets, the C23 Serena had 1.6 or 2.0 L petrols, or 2.3 L diesel engines LD23. Trim levels were LX, SLX, SGX and SGXi.Auto Express once named the Serena as the slowest passenger car in the benchmark 0-60 mph (later became 62 mph) test, with the 2.3 L diesel version (added in the mid-1990s) taking 27.8 seconds to reach that speed.
Until around 2002, the most common petrol engine was theSR20DE, accompanied by the 1.6-litre GA16DE. A variety of other engines were used over the years, includingdiesels specifically theCD20 (for the commercial van version),CD20T 1,973 cc Diesel Turbo, and theCD20ET.

TheNissan Vanette was a series of small vans manufactured inSpain by Nissan alongside the European market Serena models. The van was produced in two versions, the Vanette E, which shared the basic body shell with the Nissan Serena people carrier, differing only in not having rear windows and passenger seats, and the Vanette Cargo, which was longer and had a higher roof line from behind the front seats.
In June 1998,LDV Group entered into an agreement with Nissan to sell a rebranded version of the Vanette Cargo.[2] This was named the LDV Cub and was sold alongside the Vanette in Britain. The model was discontinued in 2001 and replaced by a rebadged version of theRenault Trafic called the Nissan Primastar, which is produced inLuton, England andBarcelona, Spain.
The Nissan Serena Mk1 is said to have animage problem by some, in particularFifth Gear presenterQuentin Willson, who remarked in a 1997Top Gear episode that"...the Nissan Serena was about as seductive as askip and as desirable as an old shoe."
By 2000, the Nissan Serena was described as the worst new car sale on Britain, byTop Gear'sBuyers Guide, with "absolutely nothing to recommend it for".
Although the Nissan Serena handles better than most people expect it to (due to its mid-mounted engine), its power-to-weight ratio is particularly poor, as shown by the 0–100 km/h averages listed below. For those wanting performance cars, the only models with marginally acceptable acceleration are powered by the SR20DE engine, but all models are acceptable for the target family-car user, as shown by sales figures.
Largo was the model name used for a Nissan passenger van based on the C23 Serena between 1992 and 1998. Unlike the previous Largo, which was essentially a widened C22Nissan Vanette, the W30 Largo was a totally rebodied, wider Serena with more equipment such as four-wheel-drive. It was exclusive toNissan Satio Store locations as a large load carrying vehicle next to theSunny. The Largo was available with either a 2.4-litre petrol or a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel, both mid engined (under the front seats).

The second-generation Serena was launched in Japan in June 1999, ditched therear-wheel drive layout in favour offront-wheel drive construction. These versions had a facelift with a wider variety of engines and colours. From December 2001 onwards (the time of the facelift) the Serena used theQR20DE andQR25DE. The pre-facelift C24 Serenas all have a 2.0 L engine, with the optional 2.5 L engine becoming available from 2002. With the partnership between Nissan and Renault having been implemented, Nissan MPVs were withdrawn from Europe where Renault products, like theRenault Espace andRenault Scénic were sold and better accepted.
Indonesian-market cars use the 2.0 LQR20DEinline-fourpetrol engine. The trims available in Indonesia are Comfort Touring, Highway Star, andAutech. The Comfort Touring trim-level does not come equipped with electric sliding door and reverse camera, while the Highway Star and theAutech do.[4] The C24 Serena was also manufactured byEdaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd inKuala Lumpur,Malaysia.[5]

In Taiwan, a lengthened version of the Serena C24 has been manufactured byYulon under the Nissan label. The Taiwanese Serena is 141 mm (5.6 in) longer than the original, all behind the C-pillar. The Taiwanese version was in production until 2012 and following the 2006 facelift was only available with the 160 PS (118 kW) 2.5-litreQR25DE engine joined to a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic.[6]
